520    "After 9/11, thousands of mental health professionals from
       across the country assembled in Manhattan to help handle 
       the almost certain avalanche of traumatized New Yorkers. 
       Curiously, it never came. While plenty of people did seek 
       mental health counseling after 9/11, the numbers were 
       nowhere near expected. As renowned psychologist George 
       Bonanno argues, psychiatrists failed to predict the 
       response to 9/11 because our model of trauma is wrong. 
       Psychiatrists only study clinically traumatized people, 
       and over time this skewed sample has led us to believe 
       that trauma was the natural response to stress. But what 
       about all the people who never come in for help? Bonanno 
       has spent his career studying how people respond to 
       potentially traumatic events, whether or not they show 
       symptoms of PTSD. In TK, he lays out a bold new model of 
       the origins and trauma, and how we can more effectively 
       treat it. Bonanno's research has shown that the natural 
       response to stressful situations is not trauma but 
       resilience. Most people are, by default, able to cope 
       without suffering long-term consequences. This is 
       important because assuming that people are traumatized 
       when they aren't can actually risk traumatizing them. TK 
       explains what makes us resilient, why people sometimes 
       aren't, and what really helps us work through trauma. of 
       the book draws on Bonanno's pioneering studies on trauma 
       in war veterans, car crash victims, assault and abuse 
       survivors, and even the victims of 9/11. His most crucial 
       finding is that resilience does not come from one 
       essential coping strategy, as other books argue. 
       Resilience is actually a process in which we actively 
       explore, assess, and adapt the strategies that allow us to
       engage with a situation. Trauma happens when our natural 
       systems of resilience falter, and Bonanno develops a 
       method for restoring resilience called the flexibility 
       sequence, a series of strategies designed to help us find 
       new coping strategies when we find ourselves at a loss. 
       Bonanno's first book, The Other Side of Sadness, showed 
       that the oft-touted notion that there are "five stages" of
       bereavement ignored how real people grieve. The book spoke
       not only to his fellow psychologists, but to thousands of 
       people who needed to better understand their own 
       experiences of loss. In the same tradition, TK reclaims 
       the study of trauma from outdated theorizing and puts it 
       in the context of people's real experiences, because we 
       can only understand how to heal from trauma once we 
       understand how humans actually deal with it"--|cProvided
